Total fixed cost for September $1,457

Total predicted variable cost for September $1,025

Explanation:

Requirement 1

High Point = March

Low Point = January

Requirement 2

Variable Cost = Difference in Overhead Cost (High - Low)/ Difference in Activity (High - Low)

= $2,810 - $1,744 / 3,300 - 700

= $1,066/ 2,600

= $0.41

Fixed Cost Component = Total Overhead Cost - Variable Cost × Selected Activity.

Lets Select, January 700 $1,744

Fixed Cost Component = Total Overhead Cost - Variable Cost × Selected Activity.

= $1,744 - $0.41 × 700

= $1,457

Requirement 3

Cost formula for tanning services

Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost

thus,

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

Requirement 4

Total Cost = $1,457 + $0.41 × Activity Level

= $1,457 + $0.41 × 2,500

= $ 2,482

Gonzalez Company has been in business for several years. At the end of the current year, the ledger shows:

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

Explanation:

The question states that bad debts are expected to be 5% of the accounts receivables. This means that it is: $327,400 x 5% = $16,370.

An account for allowance for doubtful debts is a contra account created, predicting that certain debtors will not be able to pay for the goods and services they purchased. The 5% may be based on historical experiences. Doubtful debts aren’t officially uncollectible, it is simply a prediction, but bad debts are, where you have officially written off a certain accounts receivable as uncollectible.

An allowance for doubtful debts is recorded in the balance sheet, directly under accounts receivables. Bad debts are recorded as an expense in the income statement.

The initial entry for allowance for doubtful debts is incorrect, hence it would have to be corrected before the new amount can be recorded. Correction:

Debit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $7900

Credit : Bad debts = $7900

The accounts will be cancelled off and the new entry can be recorded...

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

When the amount is officially declared uncollectible, the allowance for doubtful debts account will be debited and the accounts receivables account will be credited.

The Jones are a married couple and have always filed joint tax returns. On May 18, 2017, the couple was assessed with tax defici

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

c. May be able to avoid liability to the extent she had no reason to know of the deficiency (and did not have actual knowledge) when filing the return. The burden of proof will be on her.

Explanation:

The doctrine of innocent spouse relief might apply here. Mrs. Jones will have to prove that:

the income that was omitted was earned by her husband, not her.
she must prove that when she signed the tax filings, she was not aware of the omission.
after examining all the facts surrounding the omission, the IRS must decide that blaming her would not be fair.

A $200,000 loan amortized over 12 years at an interest rate of 10% per year requires payments of $21,215.85 to completely remove

lesya [120]

Answer:

loan balance after 12 years = $185409.8

Explanation:

Loan principal = $200000

interest = 10% of principal

amount paid yearly = $21215.85

For 1st year

principal for the first year = $200000

required interest to be paid = 10% of 200000 = $20000

amount paid = $21215.85

Loan Balance after first year = (principal for first year) - (amount paid - 10% of principal ) = $198,784.15

For 2nd year

principal for the 2nd year = Loan balance after first year = $198,784.15

loan balance after 2nd year = 198784.15 - ( 21215.85 - 10% of 198784.15)

= $197568.30

same applies for the different years until the 12th year

using this formula :

Loan Balance after Nth year = [ Loan balance after (n-1) year - ( amount paid - 10% of loan balance after (n-1) year ) ]
